  This addon really have more possibility. Especially for new user of blender. can help them easier control more on material making. Comparing same addon, Fluent : Materializer, this addon have more powerful function and extension possibility in the future., but Fluent Materializer have better user interface and better experience to use. Hope Loïc Bramoullé brush it up in the future.

  Thanks a lot ! I tried to make the UX as friendly and fun as possible, but if you have a bit of time I would be super interested in any feedback, either on Discord on Blender Market message.

  Only played with the dust shader so far and can use it in combination with my other shader pack I bought amplifying their realism. Smartify Nodes is worth it just for that dust shader alone. Thanks I'll look forward to the next shaders.

  Amazing, thanks ! If you want, you can synchronize any of these effects on any number of material, so your dust can be consistent across your whole scene, for example. Just append the "New? (synched effect)" from category 1-E, paste your effect inside, and copy-paste this group on any other material : ) all effect changes will affect all these materials.

  Very useful nodes, but still lacking after one year a documentation and updates.
  The project currently seems to be on hold.

  Thanks for your review, and sorry the Notion writen documentation is still only half done, I need to find time to finish it. But I'm working on lots of profesionnal projects, short films/cinematics and conceprt art, using Smartify quite a bit, some scifi enviros I've textured entirely with synched smart effects.
  I did produce a few tutorials on specific nodes on the Youtube recently, each time someone asked on the Discord, where I usually answer same day & thoroughly.
  Hopefully I can soon create more content for it.
  Thanks again.

  Very nice set of powerful node groups for quick procedural material creation.

  User experience is not the greatest though and unfortunately the documentation and tutorials are lacking. Considering there are roughly 50 different node groups, I'd appreciate a more comprehensive and better structured documentation on how to use the nodes from scratch. The YouTube videos aren't helpful. They merely demo what you CAN do with the nodes and not HOW. And in the one video that kind of goes into creating materials from scratch, the author just speedruns through it.

  Also, the Discord link is broken. Says "invite is invalid".

  So buyer beware: You're going to have to figure out how to use these yourself.

  Thanks for the review ! I'm in the process of improving the documentation, you might have seen on the Notion page (in documentation tab) that I've started to build a list of all the nodes with a description. I've also started doing videos on specific nodes, here yesterday I added a 8 minutes videos going over each slider of the Edge mask node:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHHOaMgPmMg&t=1s&ab_channel=lo%C3%AFcbramoull%C3%A9
  I will try to redo some of the initial videos like the one where I build smart mat from scratch, with more clarity and less speed.
  For the Discord link I just saw that it had a default expiration of 7 days, Discord probably added that recently as it didn't expire after 7 days previously, here is an eternal one: https://discord.gg/n9NnWf97gP (updating it in all places now)
  I've answered all user questions within a day over there.
  Thanks again !

  This addon has very strong potential.

  I'm intermediate Blender user and concept artist.
  I would be very happy if you could expand the variety of Masks for people like me.

  Hi Ryo, thanks for the review. Concept-art and simplicity is definitely the angle I took with Smartify. We can talk about smart-masks on the discord, curious if you have any suggestion.

  While the quality is excellent, performance halts to a crawl even with one smart texxture on a 5080...

  Hi Coreus, that might be on Eevee, that is much less performant than cycles for complex smart materials as Eevee needs to compile then when they get edited, that's why I created a LITE version of most nodes. But performance in Cycles should be smooth on scenes with many complex materials. We can have a look at your file on the Discord if you'd like.
